"We have never seen anything as despicable as what we've seen right here ..."

For now, the acting attorney general is Democrat Barbara Underwood, who was appointed New York's solicitor general in 2007. First elected in 2013, she was previously the city council president and is an attorney.

As the investigation gets underway, the State Legislature has begun accepting applications to fill the vacancy. We recommend that they avoid the appearance of politics by keeping Underwood until the end of the year or appoint some other nonpolitical choice.

Names floated May 8 included former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, celebrated for his efforts to fight corruption in state government, and law professor Zephyr Teachout, who posted a surprisingly strong showing with her challenge to Mr. Cuomo in the 2014 primary.
